Risen from the ashes of traditional MANETs, which failed to cope with the variability of a network solely made up from mobile users, opportunistic communications have recently stood out and gained a lot of research attention. Opportunistic networking is the enabling strategy for communications in a mobile network. The idea of opportunistically exploiting extemporary contacts among the users of the network poses new and challenging problems, as well as providing with novel and promising opportunities, to the networking research community. The AOC 2011 workshop will be a meeting point for people working in the area and it will constitute a forum to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers, both from industry and academia. The AOC 2011 workshop will have a primary interest in the new directions of opportunistic communications represented by mobile social networking, content-centric networking, and participatory sensing. More in general, papers tackling issues related to opportunistic networking and computing are welcome. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of autonomic and opportunistic communications are solicited, as well as papers describing prototype implementations and deployments. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Architectures and models for autonomic and opportunistic communications * Advanced technologies for enabling autonomic and opportunistic communications * Tools and techniques for designing, analysing and building autonomic and opportunistic networks * Scaling laws and fundamental limits in autonomic and opportunistic communications * Performance modeling of autonomic and opportunistic communications * Autonomic and opportunistic communication testbeds and measurements * Algorithms, models, and architectures for opportunistic computing * Mechanisms, algorithms and testbeds for service provisioning in autonomic and opportunistic networks * Algorithms, models, and architectures for content centric autonomic and opportunistic networks * Mobile social networking in autonomic and opportunistic communications * Participatory and urban sensing in autonomic and opportunistic networks * Resource management techniques applied to autonomic and opportunistic communications * Context and social awareness in autonomic and opportunistic networks * Routing, transport, and reliability issues in autonomic and opportunistic communications * Techniques for data dissemination and replication in autonomic and opportunistic networks * Applications and middleware support for autonomic and opportunistic communications * Mobility models and statistical analysis of mobility traces * Trust, security, and reputation in autonomic and opportunistic communications * Socio-economic models for autonomic and opportunistic communications PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION -------------------------------- Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor being currently under review by another conference or journal. Manuscripts are limited to 6 pages, single spacing, double column, and must strictly adhere to the template format. Guidelines on paper submission and formatting are available at http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/aoc2011/. Accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings published by IEEE. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register and present his/her work at the workshop.

Moreover, theoretical advances on wireless network communications, such as cooperative relay networks, network coding, constructive use of interference, and interference alignment, promise to have significant impact on practical wireless networks in the next years. To better understand the nature of these advances, it is important to evaluate these ideas in real-world environments via empirical measurement. While analytical and simulation-based approaches are useful, they are often limited by the simplistic modeling of the wireless protocols and the varying and error-prone wireless channel. As a response to these limitations, the need for experimental wireless network measurements has gained wide recognition in the networking research community. This workshop continues the successful WiNMee series, begun at WiOpt in 2005, and is intended to bring together researchers in the field of experimental wireless networking and serve as a forum for discussing advances and challenges in experimental wireless network measurements. We are looking forward to meeting you !

Thai" <mythai(a)cise.ufl.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CC: CALL FOR PAPERS SIMPLEX 2011: 3rd Annual Workshop on Simplifying Complex Networks for Practitioners 24th June 2011, Minneapolis, USA http://www.simplexconf.net Co-located with IEEE ICDCS 2011 THEME ----- Network science, sometimes also called "complex networks science", has recently attracted much attention from the scientific community, mainly due to the almost ubiquitous presence of complex networks in real-world systems. Examples of complex networks are found in living organisms, in engineering systems, as well as in social networks. Most of the real-world systems have the required degree of complexity to be called "complex systems". Complexity may have to do with the intricate dynamics of the interacting components, with the non-trivial properties of the underlying network topology, or with the sheer size of the system itself. Despite the numerous workshops and conferences related to network science, it is still a set of loosely interacting communities. Those communities would benefit from better interactions. Simplex aims at triggering different computer science communities (e.g. communication networks, distributed systems) to propose research areas and topics that should be tackled from the network science perspective. We also seek contributions from network science that are relevant to solve practical computer science problems. Two types of contributions are foreseen from prospective authors. The first type would consist of use-cases of theoretical tools and methods to solve practical problems. Such contributions should be as usable as possible by practitioners in the related field. The second type of contributions would come from practitioners that have identified a problem that may be solved by tools from network sciences. The point of such contributions is to make the network sciences community aware of the importance of a high-impact problem, and to suggest means by which the problem may be solved by the network science community. Both contributions should stimulate interaction between theoreticians and practitioners, and also have high potential impact in either field. Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to: - Application of complex network theory to the design of distributed and mobile systems; - Data mining of large scale networks; - Analysis of dynamic and time-varying networks; - Network robustness to failures and attacks; - Machine learning and network science; - Complex network theory applied to forwarding/routing problems - Application of social network analysis to communication and computing system design; - Mobility and connectivity modelling; - Network science and data&information retrieval; - Complex network theory and security applications. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES --------------------- All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. The proceedings of the conference and the workshops will be published in CDs by the IEEE Computer Society Press. All paper submissions should follow the IEEE 8.5" x 11" Two-Column Format (up to 6 pages).

This workshop concentrates on such network layer problems as data communication (routing, QoS-routing, geocasting, multicasting, broadcasting, etc.) and topology control (neighbor discovery, power adjustment, neighbor elimination, etc.). The main paradigm shift is to apply localized (or greedy) schemes as opposed to existing protocols requiring global information. Localized algorithms are distributed approaches where simple local node behavior achieves a desired global objective. Localized protocols provide scalable solutions, that is, solutions for wireless networks with an arbitrary number of nodes. The objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on various aspects of localized algorithms and protocols in this rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks. Topics of Interest The objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on data communication and topology control in rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks, with emphasizes on localized techniques. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: · Localized unicast and multicast routing protocols · Localized broadcasting algorithms · Localized QoS communication protocols · Localized geocasting protocols · Localized clustering algorithms · Localized protocols for duty-cycled sensor networks · Localized auto-configuration and network formation algorithms · Topology construction and maintenance based on local information · Energy-efficient and bandwidth-efficient communication · Relative positioning algorithms based on local information · Network graph properties supporting localized protocols · Localized algorithms for data management and query · Localized incentive schemes for selfish wireless networks · Localized algorithms in delay/disruption tolerant networks · Security based on local information in wireless sensor networks · Bounds analysis in localized solutions · Worst and average case analysis in localized algorithms Paper submission Papers are solicited in the IEEE proceedings format with up to six (6) pages. Papers in PDF format must be submitted via Easy Chair by using the following URL: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=localgos10. All submissions must be original prior unpublished work and not under review elsewhere. All papers will be reviewed and selected based on their originality, merit, and relevance to the workshop. Accepted and presented papers will appear in the DCOSS proceedings and the IEEE Digital Library. Please email to TPC chairs if you have any questions.

By enabling vehicles to communicate with each other via Inter-Vehicle Communication (IVC) as well as with roadside base stations via Roadside-to-Vehicle Communication (RVC), vehicular networks will contribute to safer and more efficient roads by providing timely information to drivers and concerned authorities. This symposium is intended to serve as a forum and bring together the researchers and engineers in both academia and industry to exchange ideas, share experiences, and report original work about all aspects of vehicular communications. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of vehicular communications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/Internet communication Experiences from real-world deployments and field trials Innovative safety and non-safety applications Middleware support Security, privacy and trust Medium access and power control protocols Routing protocols Cross-layer design Mobility models and vehicular traffic models Simulation tools Network management Channel modelling Antenna technologies Standarization efforts Radio resource management Quality of service Data dissemination and delay-tolerant networking techniques Vehicular sensor networks Vehicular social networks Submitted papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the field. Proceedings of the symposium will be published together with those of other IWCMC symposia and workshops, and will be available in digital format in IEEE Explore. Selected papers will be further considered for possible publication in journal special issues. SUBMISSION: Authors are invited to submit original unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop or journal. Full papers should be restricted to 6 camera-ready pages (in 10 pt font, double column, US letter size, 8.5 x 11 inches, IEEE format), including text, figures and references. Authors should use only standard fonts, i.e. Times Roman, Courier, Symbol, Helvetica or equivalent. Papers must be submitted electronically via EDAS (http://edas.info/N9425).
